GP Police Incarcerated Woman for Stealing Merchandise from Walmart
Grants Pass Police arrested a woman last weekend for stealing merchandise from Walmart.
The Police Department reports officers were alerted to a shoplifting complaint at the store on NE Terry Lane on Sunday around 2:45 p.m..
Police said Walmart loss prevention reported a total of two people were involved in the caper including 27-year-old Mariah Rena Earls and a man identified as Colin Hissong. The couple had 5-year-old and 1-year-old children with them when they walked past all points of sale with approximately $150 in stolen items.
Hissong fled on foot and police were unable to find him. Earls was stopped at Fred Meyer with the children. She was lodged at the Josephine County Jail for 2nd-Degree Theft. The Oregon Department of Human Services took temporary custody of the young kids.
Family members drove to Grants Pass from Medford to take custody of the children. They did not have proper equipment to transport the little girl, so a booster seat was purchased for them.
